USB: serial: add generic TIOCMIWAIT implementation
Add generic TIOCMIWAIT implementation which correctly handles hangup, USB-device disconnect, does not rely on the deprecated sleep_on functions and hence does not suffer from the races currently affecting several usb-serial drivers. This makes it much easier to add TIOCMIWAIT support to subdrivers as the tricky details related to hangup and disconnect (e.g. atomicity, that the private port data may have been freed when woken up, and waking up processes at disconnect) have been handled once and for all. To add support to a subdriver, simply set the tiocmiwait-port-operation field, update the port icount fields and wake up any process sleeping on the tty-port modem-status-change wait queue on changes. Note that the tty-port initialised flag can be used to detect disconnected as the port will be hung up as part of disconnect (and cannot be reactivated due to the disconnected flag). However, as the tty-port implementation currently wakes up processes before calling port shutdown, the tty-hupping flag must also be checked to detect hangup for now.
